Consensus is an AI search engine for scientific papers, evidence summaries, and source-backed answers. It searches peer-reviewed literature, summarizes findings, and shows which papers support the answer. For academic writing, compare it with Jenni AI; for working with your own source library, see NotebookLM; for literature-review workflows, check Elicit.
What Consensus Can Do
- search across more than 220 million peer-reviewed research papers
- understand natural-language questions using semantic search and keyword search together
- generate concise summaries tied back to real papers and citations
- show the Consensus Meter for yes-or-no questions where agreement across studies matters
- let users inspect individual papers with Ask Paper and organize sources in My Library
- use Research Agent for multi-step tasks such as filters, citation chains, and research gaps
Who It Is For
Consensus is useful for students, researchers, clinicians, analysts, and writers who need to check the scientific basis for a claim. For broader web research, compare it with Perplexity; for citation-context analysis, see Scite. Related tools live in Research Papers.
What To Keep In Mind
Consensus can speed up scientific reading, but it does not remove the need to check primary sources. For high-stakes work, open the papers, review methods, sample size, publication date, and limitations.
